A Blanket of White Light streaming through my window awakened me. Like a child, I jumped out of bed and hurried to the window. Sparkling in my back porch light, snow blanketed the yard. Winter’s drab landscape changed to a fairyland. The dead, brown grass disappeared under the snowy blanket, and the barren trees woreContinue reading “A Blanket of White”

The Supremacy of the Son of God
Autumn is my favorite season. The glory of the changing leaves amazes me. The bright red, yellow, orange, pink, and rust of the changing leaves is a glory to see. Walking along nature’s paths, I hear the soft crunching of the leaves beneath my feet. Each step cushioned from the hardened earth. After a hot,Continue reading “The Supremacy of the Son of God”
Walking the Nature Trails
The path opens to a clearing larger than a football field. Waist high brome grasses sway slightly in a gentle waltz with the faint breeze. Nearby branches merely watch, too heavily laden with yellow-green hedge apples to dance. On the far side of the field lies a painter’s palette of trees showing their colors—green, yellow,Continue reading “Walking the Nature Trails”

He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3: 11 Lord, I pray you will open our eyesContinue reading “Beauty Everywhere”
Ordinary Beauty
Happy Wednesday. Here’s a devotion to enjoy today. Ordinary Beauty Today, heeding the words of Robert Frost, I took “the road less travelled.” As I walked the familiar gravel path, I noticed a trail to my left, and it beckoned. Venturing off the six-foot-wide, highly travelled walkway, I stepped through the trees onto the sandyContinue reading “Ordinary Beauty”
A Fragrant Offering
This beautiful little tree stands just outside the front door to my church. Sunday morning, my husband and I stood outside the church, greeting worshippers as they entered the building. The lilac fragrance of the flowers wafted toward us on a gentle breeze. It was so delicious and made me think of the following verses.Continue reading “A Fragrant Offering”
Through the Psalms, Chapter 8
1, 3 &4, 9 “Lord, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth! When I consider your heavens, The work of your fingers, The moon and the stars, Which you have set in place, What is mankind that you are mindful of them, Human beings that you care for them? Lord, ourContinue reading “Through the Psalms, Chapter 8”
